Casey's Arraignment This week?

Thanks so much for the definition--I would never have gotten that one!
 
Her attorney, Jose Baez, has already filed a written plea of not guilty on the check fraud charges

Silly wabbits, that's because it's the Nanny on the security cam not KC. Even CA will tell you that.
 
Will someone explain how she can plead NOT GUILTY? With all the video evidence of her writing those bad checks, plus motive and opportunity, how does she think she can get away with this? And wouldn't it be smarter to plead no contest, pay restitution, and get a slap on the wrist for this? Those dead squirrels have more sense, in my humble opinion...

In many criminal cases, the defendant will plead not guilty at their arraignment, even if the evidence against them is pretty much conclusive.

A trial date will be set and prior to the trial, many defendants and their defense attorney will ask for a plea bargain. If the prosecution accepts the plea bargain offer, it saves the county the cost of a jury trial. The defendant is convicted of a lesser charge, which amounts to lesser punishment and fines. It's always up to the prosecutor to enter into plea bargain negotiations. If he has enough evidence to take the matter to trial, and he feels the defendant deserves maximum punishment, he will refuse negotiations.
